Seeing this, Xiubao immediately rushed out of the door, a scene that overwhelmed the housekeepers and maids in the room.

"Your Highness just left?" Kohime asked stupidly, as if she hadn't woken up from Hideho's pampering at this moment.

"It's all the concubine's fault, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry." Ajiang is indeed feeling guilty for his negligence, but today is a day of great joy after all, and Hideho has undoubtedly caused a lot of damage to Komahime by doing so.

"This is all a big mistake made by the concubine, please don't blame His Highness and the Imperial Front." Sakurahime sobbed softly with her big belly, and the atmosphere in the room was even more sad, almost canceling out the joy of Yukichiyo's birth.

"What are you talking about, I'm not blaming anyone." Kohime reacted at this time, and explained for his expression: "The moment the emperor turned to leave, I realized how important a treasure the child is to the mother, on the day of the young master's death, although I cried with it, but after all, it was only out of sympathy for the emperor, until today I didn't know how difficult it is for a mother to arrive with a child." How can I not understand the sadness of the scene in front of the emperor, His Royal Highness should also comfort him, everyone should not worry about me. ”

Hearing Komahime say this, everyone was relieved, and they couldn't help but add a lot of good feelings to this strong Princess Yushu.

In the hallway outside the dormitory, Hideho called out to Kikuhime, who was walking in front of him.

"The concubine is fine, Your Highness should go back to accompany Ju Ji and Xue Chiyo." Before Hideho could speak, Kikuhime politely rejected his comfort, enduring the pain of losing her son, and walked towards Honmaru without looking back.

"Aju!" Xiubao was still not at ease, and was about to chase after her to give her a hug, but was stopped by Azhu.

"Your Highness, please go back, you will only make the emperor blame himself even more, leave it to the maidservant here, you better go back and see Mrs. Komahime and His Highness." Although Azhu is a maidservant, she has been by Komahime's side since she was a child, and she knows Komahime's mind very well, and since she said so, Hideho had no choice but to stop and watch Kikuhime leave his sight.

In the early morning of September 20, with guilt and affection for Kikuhime, Hideho led 25,000 men (including a few miscellaneous people) from Iwamuro Port, crossed the Seto Inland Sea, and sailed towards Chikugo. During this period, various daimyo led fleets to converge, such as the general of the Sixth Army in Tosa, the head of Nagamune's department; Awa's Seventh Legion, the chief of the Seventh Army, the housekeeper of Wasuka; Nagato's deputy general of the Eighth Army, Mori Hidemoto, etc.

This Western army, with a total strength of nearly 100,000, arrived at Nagoya on the second day of the first month of October, and the prosperity of the army amazed those in Kyushu and gave Hideyoshi enough face. However, it was not until October 10 that Ieyasu led 21,000 troops to Nagoya slowly, and of course there would be some daimyo who complained, but they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, who called the daimyo who controlled the two million koku in Kanto.

Without further ado, the day after Ieyasu's arrival, Hideyoshi immediately summoned all the daimyo to hold a military meeting in Honmaru and announce the battle plan.

Hideho knew in advance that the battle plan had been formulated, and Hideyoshi had already greeted him and asked him to stay in Sacheon, so Hideho didn't care too much about the specific plan for this expedition to Korea.

As soon as Hideyoshi opened, he officially appointed Xiuqiu as the general of the Korean expedition and stationed in Busan; Appointed Hideho as the general of the Sacheon garrison and led the Ninth Army Corps to garrison Sacheon to assist in the defense of Busan;

A three-way attack plan was formulated, and the Eastern Route Army was headed by Ukita Hideya as the general general, with Konishi Yukinaga of the Second Army as the vanguard, and the headquarters (excluding Mori Hidemoto), Shimazu Hiroyoshi's Fifth Army, the Sixth Army's Nagamune Ibu Motokin, and the Seventh Army's Beesuka Iemasa, with a total strength of 50,000, and marched north along the Gyeongsho-do Road;

The Middle Route Army was led by Tokugawa Hidetada as the general general, with Yamaguchi Hiromasa under the command of Hideaki as the vanguard, with a general reserve of 10,000 and the 10th Army of 21,000 people, a total of 31,000 people.

The Western Route Army was headed by Mori Hidemoto as the general general, Kato Kiyomasa was the vanguard, Kuroda Nagamasa of the Third Army Corps, Nabeshima Naoshige of the Fourth Army Corps, etc., with a strength of 50,000, set out from Busan, went through Miyang and Daegu, and went straight to Sangju.

The rest of the armies were responsible for seizing important coastal towns and building coastal defense systems.

On 20 October, after receiving the news that Li Zongcheng had returned to Beijing, Hideyoshi immediately ordered all troops and horses to start crossing the sea in accordance with the established policy.

Although the battle of Keicho was nearly half a year earlier than in history, the actual battle situation was almost the same, due to the slackness of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, nearly 200,000 troops soon landed on the south bank of Korea, and the three-way army was menacing, and it took less than a month to capture all the coastal fortresses such as Xiongchuan, Changwon, Jinju, Sacheon, Guseong, and Suncheon, which were voluntarily abandoned; Coastal ports and islands, such as Dongrae, Seosangura, Angupo, Gatokudo, and Takeshima, were also quickly taken by the Japanese army.

Of course, in the face of such a strong momentum of the Japanese army, Li Hao, as the lord of a country, also quickly came up with a response plan: first, he ordered Marshal Quan to lead a heavy army to the south to defend Caoliang Road, the main communication route between Seoul and the south; Secondly, of course, he licked his face and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.

The moment he received the letter for help, the Ming court knew that he had fallen into Hideyoshi's plan to delay the army, and the Wanli Emperor felt that he had lost face by being deceived by the Japanese chieftains, and on the one hand, he ordered the exile of Li Zongcheng and the rectification of Shen Wei, and on the other hand, he immediately sent heavenly soldiers into the court to conquer the Japanese invaders.

On 1 November, the Ming court finally decided to appoint Yang Hao, the political envoy of Liaodong, to manage the military affairs of Korea, Ma Gui as the general to control the armies, and Yang Yuan, Liu Wei, and Dong Yiyuan as deputy generals, leading more than 30,000 people from Liaodong, Baoding, and other places to cross the river and enter the DPRK.

Although it occupied important coastal towns, most of the cities were demolished by the Korean military and civilians after the Japanese army withdrew, so in order to prevent the shortage of food and grass and the emptiness of the rear, the three-way army was stationed in Gyeongju, Changnyeong and Namwon respectively, and then tried to go north after the coastal fortress was repaired and the defense system was completely established.

The construction of these cities is not achieved overnight, except for Ulsan, Suncheon, Busan and other places that are relatively well preserved, the rest of the cities are basically only left with ruins, especially in the area of Sacheon, Changwon, and Jinju, which is a triangle of fierce competition between the two sides, and the cities are all turned into scorched earth, Xiubao has no other way but to use those samurai who are accustomed to swords and guns as engineers, and the small city of Sacheon is still not a problem for 25,000 people, and the time will soon come to the end of November, This fortified fortress, which is no less fortified than Busan, has finally been completed.

According to Hideyoshi, the four cities of Ulsan, Busan, Sacheon, and Suncheon were the four major fortresses of the Japanese army along the coast of Korea, and they had a strategic position that could not be matched by other strongholds. Taking Busan Fortress as an example, the northeast is Yangsan Fortress connected to Ulsan, the southeast is Gadeokdo Island and Takedo Island, the sea grain road Gadeokdo and Takedo Island, the northwest is the Jianseong Changwon, and the southwest is Geoje Island, an outpost for the defense of the Korean naval army.

Similarly, the city of Sacheon, where Xiubo is located, is also not to be underestimated, and the city is surrounded by water on both sides, and the northeast is the fortress of Masan, which is connected to Busan; The Tongyeong Peninsula in the southeast is home to Haesan Island, the headquarters of the Korean naval army; Jinju Castle in the northwest was originally the same as Changwon, it was a first-class fortified city, so that during the Battle of Wenroku, the Japanese army attacked it twice before it was captured, but now the main body of the city has been destroyed, for the safety of Sacheon Castle, Xiubao had to abandon Jinju Castle, build a fortress at the foot of the southeast mountain, become Jinseong, and barely establish a northern defense line; As for the Nankai Island in the southwest, it was the water camp of the southeast fleet, and its position was equally important, so Hideho built the Changshan Water Village on the waterway in and out of the South Sea Island to block Nanhai Island and Changshan Island and protect the water camp on the island.

It can be seen from this that the headquarters of the DPRK naval army is located in the southwest of Busan and the southeast of Sacheon, and the fact that they can still stand tall in such an embarrassing situation shows that this group of naval forces is still very powerful.

On 8 December, Yang Yuan, the deputy general of the Ming army, led 3,000 men and horses to Seoul, and after a short rest, continued southward, arriving at Namwon, an important town in the southern part of Jeolla Province, three days later. At the same time, with Kato Kiyomasa as the vanguard, Xiuyuan led the Western Route Army to kill Namwon in a mighty manner, vowing to attack Chungcheong-do in one fell swoop.
